The provinces and territories of Canada combine to make up the world's second largest country in total area. This is a list of the countries of the world sorted by total area. The major difference between a Canadian province and a territory is that a province receives its power and authority directly from the Crown, via the Constitution Act, 1867, whereas territories derive their mandates from the federal government.

Territories

There are currently three territories in Canada. Unlike the provinces, the territories of Canada have no inherent jurisdiction and only have those powers delegated to them by the federal government. Inherent Jurisdiction is a doctrine of the English Common law that a Superior court has the Jurisdiction to hear any matter that comes before ^{[2] [3] [4]} They include all of mainland Canada north of latitude 60° north and west of Hudson Bay, as well as essentially all islands north of the Canadian mainland (from those in James Bay to the Canadian Arctic islands). James Bay (Baie James is a large body of water on the southern end of Hudson Bay in Canada.

History

Evolution of the borders and names of Canada's provinces and territories

Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia are the original provinces, formed when British North American colonies federated on July 1, 1867, into the Dominion of Canada and by stages began accruing the indicia of sovereignty from the United Kingdom. British North America consisted of the colonies and territories of the British Empire in continental North America after the end of the American Revolutionary Canadian Confederation was the process by which the federal Dominion of Canada was formed beginning 1 July 1867 from the "July 1st" redirects here For the Ayumi Hamasaki song see H (song.

The Province of Canada or the United Province of Canada was a British colony in North America from 1841 to 1867 Over the following six years, Manitoba, British Columbia, and Prince Edward Island were added as provinces.

The Hudson's Bay Company maintained control of large swaths of western Canada until 1870, when it turned over the land to the Government of Canada, forming part of Northwest Territories. The Northwest Territories (ˌnɔrθˌwɛstˈtɛrɨtɔriz ( NWT or NT; French, les Territoires du Nord-Ouest) is a territory Manitoba and Northwest Territories were created in 1870 from Rupert's Land and North-Western Territory. Rupert's Land, also sometimes called "Prince Rupert's Land" was a territory in British North America, consisting of the Hudson Bay drainage basin, that For other geographical names that use the term "Northwest" see Northwest. At the time, the land comprising Northwest Territories was all of current northern and western Canada, including the northern two thirds of Ontario and Quebec, with exception of the Arctic Islands, British Columbia and a small portion of southern Manitoba. On September 1, 1905, a portion of the Northwest Territories south of the 60° parallel became the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. Events 462 - Possible start of first Byzantine indiction cycle. Year 1905 ( MCMV) was a Common year starting on Sunday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Common year starting In 1912, the boundaries of Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba were expanded northward: Manitoba's to the 60° parallel, Ontario's to Hudson Bay and Quebec's to encompass the District of Ungava. The District of Ungava was a regional administrative district of Canada 's Northwest Territories from 1895 to 1912 ^[5]

In 1869, Newfoundland decided in an election to remain a British territory, over concerns that central Canada would dominate taxation and economic policy. Newfoundland and Labrador (ˈnuːfɨn(dlənd ən(d ˈlæbrəˌdɔr (Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador is a province of Canada, the tenth and latest to join the Confederation In 1907, Newfoundland and Labrador acquired dominion status.

World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including In a narrow majority, the citizens of Newfoundland and Labrador voted for confederation in a 1948 referendum.

In 1903, the Alaska Panhandle Dispute fixed British Columbia's northwestern boundary. The Alaska Boundary Dispute was a Territorial dispute between the United States and Canada (then a British Dominion with its foreign affairs This was one of only two provinces in Canadian history to have its size reduced. The second, in 1927, occurred when a boundary dispute between the province of Quebec and the Dominion of Newfoundland saw Labrador increased at Quebec's expense.

In 1999, Nunavut was created from the eastern portion of Northwest Territories. Yukon lies in the western portion of The North, while Nunavut is in the east. Yukon (ˈjuːkɒn is the westernmost and smallest of Canada's three territories. Northern Canada is the vast Northernmost Region of Canada variously defined by Geography and Politics.

The District of Keewatin was created as a separate territory from 1876 to 1905, after which it became an administration district of Northwest Territories. The District of Keewatin was a former territory of Canada and later an administrative district of the Northwest Territories. In 1999, it was dissolved when it became part of Nunavut.

In late 2004, Prime Minister Paul Martin surprised some observers by expressing his personal support for all three territories gaining provincial status "eventually".

Government

Theoretically, provinces have a great deal of power relative to the federal government, with jurisdiction over many public goods such as healthcare, education, welfare, and intra-provincial transportation. Since Canadian Confederation in 1867 there have been several proposals for new Canadian provinces and territories. Canadian federalism is one of the three pillars of the constitutional order along with Responsible government and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Federal and provincial aspects Across the country the Canadian Crown is unitary the headship of state is not a part of either the federal or provincial jurisdictions This is a list of leaders and office-holders of Canada. See also Canadian incumbents by year. In Economics, a public good is a good that is non-rivaled and non-excludable. Health care is the prevention treatment and management of illness and the preservation of mental health through the services offered by the medical, Nursing Education encompasses both the Teaching and Learning of Knowledge, proper conduct, and technical competency Welfare is financial assistance paid to people by governments They receive "transfer payments" from the federal government to pay for these, as well as exacting their own taxes. In practice, however, the federal government can use these transfer payments to influence these provincial areas. For instance in order to receive health care funding under medicare, provinces must agree to meet certain federal mandates, such as universal access to required medical treatment. This article refers to medicare a name for Canada's publicly-funded health insurance system for hospital and physician services

Provincial and territorial legislatures are unicameral, having no second chamber equivalent to the Canadian Senate. Unicameralism is the practice of having only one legislative or Parliamentary chamber The Senate of Canada (Le Sénat du Canada is a component of the Parliament of Canada, along with the sovereign (represented by the governor general Originally, most provinces did have such bodies, known as legislative councils, but these were subsequently abolished, Quebec's being the last in 1968. A Legislative Council is the name given to the legislatures or one of the chambers of the legislature of many nations and colonies In most provinces, the single house of the legislature is known as the Legislative Assembly except in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador, where it is called the House of Assembly, and Quebec where it is generally called the National Assembly. Legislative Assembly is the name given in some countries to either a Legislature, or to one of its chambers. House of Assembly is a name given to the Legislature or Lower house of a Bicameral legislature in some countries often at Subnational level The National Assembly of Quebec (Assemblée nationale du Québec is the name for the legislative body of the province of Quebec, Canada. Ontario has a Legislative Assembly but its members are called Members of the Provincial Parliament or MPPs. The legislative assemblies use a procedure similar to that of the Canadian House of Commons. The House of Commons (Chambre des communes is a component of the Parliament of Canada, along with the Sovereign (represented by the Governor General) and The head of government of each province, called the premier, is generally the head of the party with the most seats. This is also the case in Yukon, but Northwest Territories and Nunavut have no political parties at the territorial level. The Queen's representative to each province is the Lieutenant-Governor. In Canada, the Lieutenant-Governor (lɛfˈtɛnənt often without a Hyphen) ( French: lieutenant-gouverneur, or: lieutenant-gouverneure In each of the territories there is an analogous Commissioner, but he or she represents the federal government and not the monarch. The provinces and territories of Canada combine to make up the world's second largest country in total area. Commissioner is a designation that may be used for a variety of official positions especially referring to a high-ranked public (administrative or Police) official or an analogous

Federal, provincial, and territorial terminology compared

*Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Manitoba, Newfoundland, and Prince Edward Island historically had Legislative Councils, analogous to the federal Senate. A Legislative Council is the name given to the legislatures or one of the chambers of the legislature of many nations and colonies

Each of the territories elects one Member of Parliament. A Member of Parliament, or MP, is a representative elected by the voters to a Parliament. Canadian territories are each entitled to elect one full voting representative to the Canadian House of Commons. The House of Commons (Chambre des communes is a component of the Parliament of Canada, along with the Sovereign (represented by the Governor General) and With the sole exception of Prince Edward Island having slightly greater per capita representation than the Northwest Territories, every territory has considerably greater per capita representation in the Commons than every other province. Per capita is a Latin phrase meaning for each head with Per meaning 'through' or 'by' Residents of the Canadian territories are full citizens and enjoy the same rights as all other Canadians. Each territory also has one Senator. The Senate of Canada (Le Sénat du Canada is a component of the Parliament of Canada, along with the sovereign (represented by the governor general

Provincial parties

Most provinces have provincial counterparts to the three national federal parties. However, some provincial parties are not formally linked to the federal parties that share the same name. The New Democratic Party is the only party that has integrated membership between the provincial and federal wings. Principles policies and electoral achievement The NDP grew from populist, agrarian and democratic socialist roots Some provinces have regional political parties, such as the Saskatchewan Party. The Saskatchewan Party is a Centre-right Political party in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.

The provincial political climate of Quebec is quite different: the main split is between sovereignty (of which separatism is generally held to be one strain), represented by the Parti Québécois, and federalism, represented primarily by the Quebec Liberal Party. The Quebec sovereignty movement ( Mouvement souverainiste du Québec) is a political movement aimed at either attaining independent statehood ( Sovereignty) or some Separatism refers to the advocacy of a state of cultural ethnic tribal religious racial or gender separation from the larger group often with demands for greater political autonomy The Parti Québécois ' is a Sovereignist Political party that advocates national sovereignty for the Canadian province of Quebec and Quebec federalist ideology revolves around the concept of Quebec remaining within Canada, in opposition to the desires of Quebec sovereigntists and proponents The Quebec Liberal Party, (or PLQ) is a liberal Political party in the Canadian province of Quebec. Since 2007, the Official Opposition has been the Action Démocratique du Québec, which advocates what it calls "autonomy", a middle-of-the-road option supporting localized power in the Federal structure. Parliamentary opposition is a form of political opposition to a designated government particularly in a Westminster -based Parliamentary system The Action démocratique du Québec (ADQ is a conservative, nationalist and autonomist provincial Political party in Quebec They have no corresponding Federal party, but polls show their base to align with the Federal Conservative Party of Canada. The Conservative Party of Canada ( Parti conservateur du Canada) colloquially known as the " Tories " is a conservative

The provincial Progressive Conservative parties are also now separate from the federal Conservative Party, which resulted from a merger between the Progressive Conservatives and the Canadian Alliance. Historically and currently, the Canadian provincial and federal political party evolution is somewhat flexible. Provincial political parties are more stable than Canadian federal political parties.
